== Linux ==

=== Ubuntu ===
*Ubuntu users, just type the following line in a terminal
sudo apt-get install subversion gcc g++ libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev git cmake cmake-curses-gui libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev

* libXt-devel (libXt-dev)
* opengl/mesa (libgl1-mesa-dev and libosmesa6-dev)
* glu (libglu1-mesa-dev)
* <del>libX11-devel (libX11-dev on Ubuntu 7.04)</del>

=== Debian squeeze ===
sudo apt-get install gcc libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev git <del>cmake</del> <del>cmake-curses-gui</del> <del>libqt4-dev</del> subversion make g++ libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev
* Debian squeeze has cmake 2.8.2 and Qt 4.6.3. You will need to install newer versions of these packages.

=== Debian testing (wheezy) ===
sudo apt-get install gcc libX11-dev libXt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libglu1-mesa-dev git cmake cmake-curses-gui libqt4-dev subversion make g++ libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev

=== CentOS ===
*CentOS user type:
yum install gcc-c++ libX11-devel libXt-devel make libXext-devel libGLU-devel mesa-libOSMesa-devel mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel ncurses

''glx-utils'' provides ''glxgears'' that can be used to test rendering

=== Generic (''need to confirm'') ===
*[[{{tool|logo|cmake}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.8
*[[{{tool|logo|git}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5
* ''An easy way to get all of the packages needed to build Slicer is to install all of the packages needed to build paraview (another vtk-based program)
** sudo apt-get install aptitude
** sudo aptitude build-dep paraview
* gcc
* gcc-c++
* libX11

== Mac ==
* Mac Os X >= 10.5 (Leopard)
*[[{{tool|logo|cmake}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.8
*[[{{tool|logo|git}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5
* XCode (for the SDK libs)
** Newer Xcode versions (e.g. 4.3.2) use clang as the default compiler and '''clang is not compatible with ITK version 3'''. You should use ITK version 4 with recent versions of Xcode.
** Xcode with gcc should work with either version of ITK.
** OS X Mountain Lion: In Xcode 4.5 you now need to install command line tools (no longer included by default). Install within Xcode under the Xcode->Preferences->Downloads tab (otherwise git svn will give errors). Then you will need to install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) to get X11 (no longer a default in OS X).

== Windows ==
*[[{{tool|logo|cmake}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|cmake}} CMake] >= 2.8.8
*[[{{tool|logo|git}}|x16px]] [{{tool|download|git}} Git] >= 1.6.5.
** [https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?can=3 ''Git-1.7.9-preview20120201.exe''] recommended.
** Use of [http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ TortoiseGit] is optional.
** {{note}}For convenience, you could update the PATH variable so that ''git'' can be automatically discovered when configuring Slicer. If not, you will have to specify the GIT_EXECUTABLE at configure time.
* SVN (e.g. [http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download SlikSvn] or [http://www.cygwin.com cygwin's svn client])
* IDE
** '''Tested/Recommended''': [https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions Microsoft Visual Studio 9 2008] (Any edition).

** '''Un-tested''': Cygwin suite (building with cygwin gcc not supported, but the cygwin shell environment can be used to run git, svn, etc).
